Study physics Definition and 121 Threads

The Physical Science Study Committee, usually abbreviated as PSSC, was inaugurated at a 1956 conference at MIT to review introductory physics education and to design, implement, and monitor improvements. It produced major new physics textbooks, instructional movies, and classroom laboratory materials, which were used by high schools around the world during the 1960s and 1970s and beyond.

    How do the guys like Witten study physics?

    It's reported that Witten majored in history as undergraduate, and he spent only two or three years to complete his PH.D of physics. I think it's incredible. Anyone here know if it was the real case? If it were, then does anybody who personally knows him know how did he learn things?
